New bug for items that end with a space

[Jon]

Hi,

I've managed to find a bug with the combo boxes.  It appears that if the Item text ends with a space (and possibly certain other characters) then javascript and server side code cannot get the selected value from a combo box.

I combine first and surname fields using the following:
COALESCE(FirstName+' ','') + COALESCE(Surname,'')
on some entries there is only a first name and for these the combo box fails.

When testing I found that if I then added a space after the surname then these would fail as well.

Sample code follows:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="uxContact" Runat="server"  EmptyMessage=" - Select a Client - " AllowCustomText="true" CssClass="fullWidthComboBoxSP" onclientselectedindexchanging="LoadContactChildren" onitemsrequested="uxContact_ItemsRequested" OnClientItemsRequested="DropDownLoaded" MarkFirstMatch="True"></telerik:RadComboBox>

JS
uxContact = $find('uxFormView_uxContact');
alert(uxContact.get_value());

VB.NET
DirectCast(uxFormView.FindControl("uxContact"), RadComboBox).SelectedValue

I am currently using version 2010.1.519.35

I can get a partial work around by changing by SQL for the time being but obviously this is a problem with the control itself.  It's only started happening since I applied the latest update.

Any idea when a fix can be made (or if indeed a fix has been made on a more recent compilation).

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I was unable to recreate the issue with the latest version of Telerik.Web.UI.

Please see my test page which I attached to this message. Can you reproduce the issue with it on your side? If so, how?

All the best,
